Cupping At Glen Lyon Coffee Roasters
Show Notes

As many people are working from home let’s get comfortable and find out what makes a good cup of coffee. Recently I visited Glen Lyon Roasters up in Aberfeldy, Perthshire where Rowan Mallon and Fiona Grant lead a group of visitors through the art of cupping – and no this isn’t the medical version.

Let me set the scene, each coffee variety was spilt into 3 cups for assessment and the audience were guided to appreciate the different brews to find their favourite. This is a way of testing the beans to ensure the finest coffee is roasted.

So every day is a learning day so brew up a coffee and see if you have what it takes to be a Q grader and develop your own taste vocabulary. 

To find out more about Glen Lyon, we shall be speaking with founder Fiona Grant about her adventures around the world in search of coffee so ensure Scotland is served with the finest coffee so don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss a future episode.
